Surf Life Saving NSW continues to be one of the most recognised, iconic and trusted volunteer emergency service and community organisations in NSW.
With a growing membership of over 82,000, including 21,000 frontline surf lifesavers, the organisation protects lives between the red and yellow flags, responds beyond traditional boundaries into hazardous unpatrolled locations, and plays an integral part in multi-agency responses to emergencies such as floods, bushfires and search and rescues.
OUR STRATEGY: STRENGTHEN & CONSOLIDATE
In defining our priorities for the next five years, we were informed and directed by our previous Strategic Plan, Lifesaving Reimagined, which aimed to address an evolving and challenging volunteer landscape and operational environment. The focus then was on challenging and disrupting traditional models of lifesaving service delivery. We explored new ways of doing things, implemented new technology and developed new policies and processes to simplify club operations, cut red tape, expand flexible volunteering options and strengthen our governance to retain reputational trust and accountability.
The outcomes of the previous plan were enabled through engaged, committed and skilled volunteers and resulted in the organisation’s growth in both size and scope. They will be the platforms on which SLSNSW will strengthen and consolidate our role, our purpose and our value to NSW communities and our membership, ensuring stability, relevance and sustainability, all the time acknowledging our core purpose, We Are Lifesavers.
